The Brain, Neurons and Brain Chemistry

Did you ever wonder why you can respond so quickly when you are startled? Wonder why you can “see” a picture in your mind’s eye? Wonder why you can remember facts, events and skills that you learned or experienced a long time ago? Your brain and nervous system makes these and many more things possible by controlling virtually all functions of the body by transmitting neurotransmitters via specialized cells, called neurons.
